Chapter 640: Xiaoya’s Soup Dumplings
Genius remembers in one second to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"It's so boring..." Sitting on the recliner that he moved into the house, playing with his mobile phone and reading a novel, Jiang Hai glanced at the sunny sky outside, hesitating whether he should find something to do. , otherwise it would be really boring...
Winter in the north is like this. There is really nothing to do. If someone heard Jiang Hai say this, they would probably say: Then you can go out and play in the snow, build snowmen, have snowball fights and so on.
If he heard someone say that, Jiang Hai would probably spray him to death with a mouthful of salt soda water, build a snowman and have a snowball fight? Is that what adults should do? Isn't it boring? Also, where did the snow come from? Where is the snow!
It's only the beginning of November now. This time can only be regarded as the beginning of winter. Sometimes there are some small snowflakes floating at night, but they are just small snowflakes with no hair at all. They melt at noon during the day. The sky of early winter is just a word, The cold is hard to get used to.
In such weather, even if Jiang Hai wanted to go out for fun, he had nowhere to go.
Recently, the young people in Winthrop are going to school and having a cat winter at home. Who is sick? It’s so cold to go outside to suffer the cold?
Even if they want to go out to play, they will go to places like bars, but everyone knows that Jiang Hai does not go to bars.
But now he looks really depressed, just like an old man, lying on his jade lounge chair, looking at the sky and his phone from time to time, with nothing to do.
The time in the United States is opposite to that in China, especially the thirteen-hour time difference in the east. When Jiang Hai wakes up in the morning, it will already be dark that day. When he is most idle around noon, Huaxia sleeps most soundly. .
He was too embarrassed to call his friends to get up and go to the toilet at this time, so he really had nothing to do.
In fact, does Jiang Hai really have nothing to do? In fact, that's not the case. For example, there is a lot of work in the cowshed, but he feels it stinks, so he won't go. There are many Zhu Zhi at the beach who can go to sea, but he feels cold and doesn't want to go.
So when he stays at home, he really has nothing to do. Winter in the north is like this. When there is no work, it is indeed quite boring. It’s not like spring, summer, and autumn when you can go out and play, but now there is no What are you playing for?
"Jiang, do you want to eat candied haws on a stick?" Just as Jiang Hai was here studying whether he was going to do something, Xiaoya ran up from downstairs wearing a pair of slippers, holding two candied haws in her hand. Made of sea.
In the past few nights, Jiang Hai put these candied haws in the cold storage during the day, and took them outside to freeze them at night.
So it tasted quite good. Jiang Hai took the bunch of strawberry candied haws that Xiaoya handed over and ate them beautifully. Speaking of which, these strawberries have been stored for a long enough time. The strawberry is on the market. Every year from March to about six months.
These strawberries from Jiang Hai were left over from that time. Although they were not damaged after being frozen, the taste was somewhat different.
"Next year we have to build a greenhouse no matter what. I'm not used to eating stale food." Jiang Hai thought while eating strawberry candied haws, but when he was thinking, he glanced at Xiaoya beside him. .
Then Jiang Hai sighed feebly. Although it was winter at this time, the weather outside was below ten degrees, which was about a few degrees.
But the temperature inside Jiang Hai's manor is very high. The geothermal heat in Jiang Hai's side keeps the temperature at 26 degrees. It's not particularly hot, but it's definitely not cold either. Because of this, the temperature inside Jiang Hai's villa is The women dress very... well, freely.
Darlene and Marianne like to wear pajamas, which are double-layered with tulle. Although they wear nothing underneath, at least they are clothes and trousers, and Jiang Hai doesn’t have any bad intentions towards them, it doesn’t matter. .
And the most important thing is that when Jiang Hai tells them, they will listen. This is the most important point.
But Bernice, Xiaoya and Azalina went a little too far. Among them, Bernice liked to walk around the house wearing a tight suspender every day without wearing a vest or anything underneath. From his waist, Jiang Hai could clearly see everything he shouldn't see. His lower body was a pair of toned and tight cropped pants, which tightened his thighs and buttocks.
Azalina was even more straightforward, just wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt that seemed to belong to Jiang Hai. Jiang Hai was so strong, he was more than 1.90 meters tall, and his current weight was 200 He weighs more than sixty kilograms, of course, all of them are extremely dense muscles, but even so, his arms are thick and his chest is also big. To wear clothes, he has to buy the European and American size L, which is two meters long. , Azalina is wearing his clothes. One side of the collar is at the neck, and the other side can even completely expose her shoulders. Sometimes she wears a pair of pants on her lower body, and sometimes she wears nothing at all. It's just so cool. Walking around the house, but if someone knocks on the door, she will instantly return to the room. Anyway, she has such speed.
If her shoulders were not exposed, her ferocious ravine would be on display, and Jiang Hai would be disappointed if she didn't look at it, and it wouldn't be good if she looked at it...
Xiaoya is relatively normal among these people, but she may have been led astray by them recently.
For example, today, Xiaoya only wore a lace gauze nightgown on her upper body. She said it was a nightgown, but in fact, the dress didn't even cover her thighs, and she didn't wear anything on her upper body. After giving Jiang Hai After eating the candied haws, she sat down on the wooden lounge chair opposite Jiang Hai with her legs straight. Her clothes fell down, and Jiang Hai could clearly see her upper body. The two small round balls, and There is something very small and indescribable...
Scanning down, you can clearly see that there are pants with Winnie the Pooh printed on them. Jiang Hai is a little uneasy.
Especially those two long legs, which are white and tender, dangling in front of him. The little toes, which are like jade carvings, are also moving naughtily to show off their owner. He is in a very good mood now. good.
"Ahem, I said you should wear more clothes if you don't go back!" Looking at Xiaoya's appearance, Jiang Hai couldn't help but said to her in a depressed tone.
"No, I feel like this is just right. If it gets cold, I will rub it in your arms for a while..." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Xiaoya smiled, and then said to Jiang Hai, after hearing her words , Jiang Hai couldn't help but roll his eyes at her.
"Who did you learn these from... Don't keep learning useless things from your sister. You should have more time to study your dishes." Looking at Xiaoya, Jiang Hai looked at her angrily and said He said to her.
"Oh? Is there anything you want to eat recently? Just tell me and I will do it." Upon hearing Jiang Hai's words, Xiaoya couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and then said with a serious face. After hearing her words, Jiang Hai Hai's attention also shifted from her body to eating. Indeed, for people like Jiang Hai, eating may be the only thing that can compete with women.
He felt that next time, if he couldn't control himself anymore, he would just think about eating...
I don’t know if it’s reliable, but I can give this a try. Now that Xiaoya mentioned food, Jiang Hai also thought about it.
"By the way, I want to eat soup dumplings, can you make them?" Since Xiaoya's illness recovered, Jiang Hai occasionally gets up in the morning to make some breakfast. Usually, Xiaoya takes care of lunch and dinner. of.
Xiaoya is really talented in this area. She used to only cook Chinese dishes, but now because there is no pork or river fish, she cooks more Western dishes. She also combines a lot of things. , Western dishes are fused and taste even better.
So usually, Jiang Hai didn't have any requirements for food, but now that he brought it up, he just said it.
"Soup dumplings? Are they from Su Province?" Xiaoya asked strangely after hearing Jiang Hai's words.
"Well, I don't know either. I only know that it seems to be from Bao Qingtian's side..." After hesitating, Jiang Hai said to Xiaoya.
In fact, soup dumplings are a very ancient food in China, with a history of more than a thousand years.
According to legend, the earliest time was during the Northern Song Dynasty. It was not a particularly noble dish. It was already sold on the streets and markets. At that time, it was called grout steamed buns or soup dumplings. The most famous place of origin was under the fireworks in March. that state.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, Wanglou, one of the 72 main stores in Dongjing (Bianliang), produced and sold cave plum blossom buns. It was this kind of buns that was known as the best in Dongjing. After the Northern Song Dynasty, soup dumplings were Baozi has been handed down in Kaifeng Mansion.
It was not until the 1920s that the steamed buns spread from the first dim sum restaurant to other places, and this kind of steamed buns can be found in many places.
The most famous ones are from Kaifeng, and then there are also those in Jiangnan, Xihang, Nandu, etc. These are the origins of this kind of steamed buns, so now everyone knows that these buns are mostly from Jiangnan, and Not its place of origin.
That's why Xiaoya will now say whether it's the one from Su Province. Jiang Hai thought about it for a while, and it seemed that it wasn't too different.
"It's just soup dumplings anyway." After hesitating, Jiang Hai said to Xiaoya. He wasn't sure where it was. Anyway, it wasn't from Bingcheng. He knew this very well. Although Bingcheng opened a very good restaurant Food shop.
"Oh, then I know, let me give it a try. I have always done red cases before, and I have never done white cases." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Xiaoya was also a little excited, and she also wanted to try one time.
What she calls red case and white case is a term among chefs. Red case mainly cooks stir-fries, while white case refers to staple food such as snacks, rice, steamed buns, steamed buns, dumplings, etc. Etc., all staple food categories fall into the category of white dishes.
In addition to this, there are water desks, that is, those who wash vegetables and do odd jobs. Nowadays, they are not specifically called water desks, but just handymen.
After deciding to make it, Xiaoya finished the candied haws in her hand in a few seconds, and then quickly ran downstairs to study. Making soup dumplings is indeed not that easy. , they are very particular about the hardness of the noodles. After about an hour, Xiaoya asked Jiang Hai to go downstairs and try it.
After Jiang Hai went downstairs, he found that there was a cage of steamed buns on the table in the living room. From the appearance of this cage of steamed buns, it was indeed worse than the authentic ones Jiang Hai had eaten, but It looks good too.
At this time, Bernice, Azarina, Darlene, Marianne and Xiaoya were gathered around the table, looking at the basket of steamed buns in front of them. They wanted to try it, but they didn't dare to try it. Seeing Jiang Hai coming down, they all looked at him.
"Didn't you try it?" Looking at the dumplings, which looked really good, Jiang Hai asked them. After hearing what Jiang Hai said, the girls all shook their heads. Then he looked at Jiang Hai expectantly.
"What kind of stuffing?" Looking at their looks, Jiang Hai couldn't help but retreat a little, but the taste of the buns did smell good. He still couldn't help it. After hesitating, he picked up one, Asked Xiaoya.
"Fresh meat and shrimp." Seeing Jiang Hai trying it, Xiaoya couldn't help but said to him cautiously.
This is a very normal ingredient. Jiang Hai looked at the bun in front of him and hesitated for a moment, then gently took a small bite, and then drank the soup inside. As soon as the soup came into his mouth, besides being hot, Jiang Hai Hai's eyes couldn't help but light up.
I have to admit that the soup alone is quite good. What Xiaoya made should be based on chicken soup, with the aroma of the meat in the stuffing and the sweetness of the shrimp. At least for this soup, Jiang Hai wanted to Give ten points.
In fact, it’s understandable when you think about it. Let’s not talk about the chicken soup here in Jiang Hai. His pork is the meat of fragrant pigs he imported from China, and the shrimps are also Arctic sweet shrimps. They are all fresh, and they grow on plants containing spiritual energy. Damn, this soup is not fresh until it is fresh.
After finishing the soup, Jiang Hai threw the bun into his mouth and bit it down. The firmness of the meat, mixed with the taste of the chicken soup, and the texture of the two whole shrimps stacked together, made Jiang Hai's eyes I immediately squinted, the smell was so good.
"Succeeded?" Looking at Jiang Hai's appearance, Xiaoya couldn't help but asked worriedly.
"Successful!" When Jiang Hai heard Xiaoya's words, he picked up the steamer without saying a word, and then said while running upstairs. After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Bernice, Darlene, and Ma Now An was running after him. They hadn't eaten yet. Seeing Jiang Hai throwing the buns into his mouth one by one, it was strange that they were not in a hurry...
"Let them grab it. I remember you also packed a lot of them. Let's go and cook them." Looking at the four people fighting for each other, Azalina here walked to Xiaoya's side and thought about it. Xiaoya wanted to try it, she patted her shoulder and whispered.
After hearing what she said, Xiaoya smiled and nodded. She almost forgot that she still had steamed buns, so the two of them slipped into the kitchen and started working again. At this moment, a sports car also arrived. In front of Jiang Hai's manor. (To be continued.)
